HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY MILLENNIUM

UFO SIGHTINGS HAVE BEEN FEW IN DECEMBER -- But good UFO
sighting reports came in from New York, North Carolina, Florida, Indiana,
California, Washington, Chile and Turkey. Although there are thousands
of reports each year, the last five years have shown that December and
the Christmas Holidays have the least number of reports. Perhaps people
are too busy to report sightings during this period, but more likely the
UFO aircrews go on vacation. Polls show that 7% of the total population
have seen UFOs, but only a small percentage are actually reported.

As we start the new Millennium, it is time to expose
the fact that alien, and most likely extraterrestrial presence has been
with us for many thousands of years. Today our newest technology such as
radar and satellites are picking up the UFOs on a regular basis. There
is also good evidence that UFOs may provide a safety hazard to our aircraft.
Important aircraft accidents such as TWA Flight 800 and EgyptAir Flight
900 have numerous reports of UFOs in the vicinity. Jeff Challender has
put together raw video footage from space shuttles orbiting Earth. These
show incontrovertible evidence that the NASA downloads show UFOs moving
at tremendous speed both in our atmosphere and in space. I personally feel
many of the ancient historical and religious texts also tell the story
of our visitors. Ancient Sumerian, Indian, Greek, and Biblical texts reveal
that our Earth was visited by angelic messengers flying in strange craft
that are remarkably similar to those seen today.

Human nature has tendency to reject and bury those factors
that might be a threat. Politicians, scientists and high ranking military
appear to have the most to lose if it turns out these unidentified flying
objects are manned by non human intelligence. Most of our readers realize
that some UFOs may be natural phenomenon or classified military aircraft.
However, it seems doubtful that humans have developed craft that can fly
at 100,000 mph, but we should realize that we may have been fooled on occasion
by clever counter-intelligence efforts to hide new aircraft.

Our world still faces major environmental problems in
the new Millennium. New diseases, an energy shortage and the threat of
international terrorism all point to difficult times ahead. President Bush
needs all the help he can get to overcome these serious problems in the
future. It will be interesting to see if the new president is willing to
publicize the UFO presence. His father and President Clinton appeared willing
to ignore the problem.

Less than a hundred years ago the Wright Brothers flew
at Kitty Hawk, and now we are getting ready to visit other planets. For
the first time in history, we present a threat to other intelligence's
by venturing forth to other planets. The future of our civilization may
depend on the actions we take regarding the visitors. We must learn more
about the visitors who could cleverly exploit us, using religion, sex or
the entertainment industry against us. There is evidence in the past, they
attempted to give us lessons on how to live as brothers. It is time we
matured and find ways to eliminate hatreds and wars as a means of settling
disputes. There may be accidental encounters between the visitors and us.
The fact they have not simply destroyed us indicates they choose to keep
us alive. Until we know their plans and motives we must gain intelligence
information on their intentions.

During the last Millennium many great men have come and
gone. Leaders like Winston Churchill, Roosevelt, scientists such as Einstein,
Kepler, Tesla, and Bell. Its interesting that most of the greatest men
also had a curiosity about UFOs. In reflecting about the past, I thought
about those who had left there mark on my life. A great actor who died
this year, had a great effect on me. I met Sir Alec Guinness in London
and he was gracious and friendly. He was in my opinion the true superstar
of the "Star Wars" movies. I think he knew there is a God the
Creator or Father of the universe when he stated with a sparkle in his
eye, "May the Force be with you!"

NEW YORK GLOWING SPHERE

NORTH MASSAPEQUA -- On December 2, 2000, 37 year old
male and a 39 year old female were driving north on Hicksville Road in
Nassau County. Suddenly a bright green light was spotted by both of them
at exactly the same time. The witness said, "It would have appeared
to have been an airplane or such, except for the fact that it was going
straight down at rapid speed and then disappeared." The speed was
definitely greater than an object falling from the sky. The object was
directly in front of us at 11:15 PM and we only saw the object descending.
We knew it cannot have been fireworks or ground-launched incendiary device.
We looked down a few streets to see if we could see it where it may have
landed. Witness 2 believes it landed, and quite possibly the light went
out just before landing while moving to the northeast. Witness 1 believes
it disappeared from view -- perhaps the light went out but it was still
there. The object was in sight for about a minute. Less than 5 minutes
later 3 or 4 helicopters were circling the neighborhood. Thanks to the

NORTH TONAWANDA -- Roger Hoeft III writes that back in
about 1978-79 my brother and his wife told me of strange goings on that
were occurring behind their home in Western New York. One evening in the
fall, after dark, we observed a ship gliding over an empty field behind
their home. This time it was observed from the side and had the "cigar
shape" that is, long and not too high. There were several large picture
windows, that I could see with binoculars. I could only see light in the
windows. We watched as this one glided along at about 10 mph or so, and
then it turned on it's side and took off at great acceleration towards
the north. I presumed that it was an experimental aircraft, since the Niagara
Falls Air Force base was only about 10 miles away. Possibly this is where
the craft I saw in '98 came from. Thanks to: Roger Hoeft III

NORTH CAROLINA OBLONG UFO SPOTTED

FAYETTEVILLE -- On November 30, 2000, Patricia Carter,
her husband Bob, and her sister-in-law, Judy were driving when both ladies
saw an object moving slowly across the sky at around 9:45 PM. Bob, thought
it was a blimp. But I said, 'No way!' We saw red lights in an elongated
pattern, on or around the perimeter of an oblong object. The object appeared
to move at the speed a blimp would move, but it was too elongated to be
a blimp. There didn't appear to be any other lights visible." "Then
Bob stopped to speak with a man at Gray's Creek," near Fayetteville,
NC. We were quite curious and persuaded Bob to turn the car around and
follow the lights. By the time the object was nearly out of sight and traveling
along north of the river. We lost sight of the object because of a line
of trees that obscured our vision." See the Fayetteville Observer
for December 2, 2000. Thanks to Stefan Duncan of AUFON.

FLORIDA FLYING SAUCER SIGHTED

CORAL SPRINGS -- On December 23, 2000, a 43 year old
educator saw a saucer shaped object with a dome at an altitude of 500 feet
or less. The object was north of Coral Springs, only 250 feet away from
the observers position at 8:00 AM. The saucer flew back and fourth at high
speed and appeared metallic. Its lights dimmed and eventually disappeared.
The witness said, "I felt helpless, but I got a picture of it, but
it turned out blurry." There was rain and a cloud cover. Thanks to

INDIANA SHINY METALLIC UFO SIGHTED

MICHIGAN CITY -- The witness a 26 year old male was walking
in Dunes National Park on December 21, 2000. When he got to the top of
Mount Baldy at 8:45 PM, he looked down and noticed a shiny, metallic like
tent sitting on the ground about fifty feet away. It had a dome with appendages.
The witness states, "It sat there for about two minutes, then began
whining, and finally took off at an incredible speed, making a high-pitched
whining sound." I also noticed a strange smell. The object changed
color to a bright red and finally fiery red heading higher and finally
too far away to see. I looked at my watch, noticed that roughly two hours
had passed. My memory and motor skills were effected by the incident. I
had involuntary actions that included paralysis and a rash. Thanks to the
MUFON's Worldwide UFO Database.

MICHIGAN INVESTIGATION OF FILMED UFO

DEARBORN -- A UFO video clip was filmed on Ford Road
on September 5, 2000, of an odd bright light in the northeast sky at 6:50
AM. The object was only a few degrees above the horizon and the Sun had
not come up yet. The witness pulled into the new Visteon building's parking
lot and started filming. At first he thought it may be a cloud, but it
actually sat motionless and then slowly moved to the southeast. The video
shows a "ribbed" disk shaped form which appears underneath the
"illuminated/reflecting" upper section of the object. The video
and other UFO investigations can be seen at this excellent web site. http://members.home.net/tattoo89/UFO_1_Backup-1-1.mpg

ARIZONA UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS

PINAL COUNTY -- I live in a remote area of the San Tan
Mountains. I have had several sightings over the last three years always
when there was no moon. There is no electrical service in the area, so
there is no light interference. At the time, I spent almost every evening
outside enjoying the stars and the quiet. From within the mountains I observed
a helicopter, sometimes two that followed a large object closely. It was
completely dark with no lights, but made a strange sound. I am familiar
with aircraft and turbine engines, but these are very quiet and have a
strange sound. I assumed that it was a new experimental aircraft from a
facility within the San Tans Mountains. Often these craft headed to Sacaton,
where there is a very strange facility surrounded by orchards on the Indian
Reservation. After finding this facility I became intrigued, because it
is a very odd facility. I am not claiming that it is alien, but the facility
and these sightings are interesting and may worthwhile. Thanks to the MUFON's

CALIFORNIA UFO SHOWS UP EACH YEAR

SANTA BARBARA -- This letter was written to Dr. Leir.
" On December 17, 2000, my friend and I were on the roof when he saw
an object in the sky. The object was almost straight up in the sky overhead,
and about the size of Venus, but looked metallic from a reflection of the
sun. Atmospheric distortion was evident, when comparing it to aircraft
flying in the area. We assume the object was at a higher altitude. Looking
through binoculars, I saw a puff of smoke or vapor from the UFO. We both
lost sight of the object when it split into three separate smaller ones,
and the total brightness went down. It split from one to two and from two
to three. (X to x x to x) The split off flew north east. When I moved I
lost them in the field of view. We viewed the object for about 7 minuets,
just before 4:50 PM. This object has shown itself each of the past going
back to 1992, during the Holidays. It has been witnessed by many individuals
and studied by MUFON. Thanks to James Brandt and Dr. Leir.

WASHINGTON FLYING FLASHING LIGHTS

SEATTLE -- On December 23, 2000, four witnesses noticed
strange flashing lights. A 34 year old witness is now in the military,
his 33 year old wife and 13 their year old son were driving to Tacoma.
Upon entering the Seattle city limits around 8:00 PM, they saw what looked
like a flying police car's lights up in the sky. The lights were within
visual range of a large commercial aircraft. The flashing lights came from
the east and accelerated suddenly for about a full second, increasing from
helicopter speed to full throttle jet fighter speed. It took about 20 seconds
to cover the distance to the coast. Once over the water, the flashing lights
made a 180 degree turn and returned half the original flight path. It then
made a 90 degree turn toward the South and moved quickly out of sight.
It was 500 to 1000 feet in altitude. The object was visible for several
minutes. The object moved from 500 feet to one mile away before disappearing.

CHILE UFOs SIGHTED AGAIN

There have been a series of sightings in Chile's 2nd
Region in recent months. Local researcher Jaime Ferrer reports that a luminous
object with an almost-rhomboidal configuration was seen on Monday, December
18, 2000, at 22:30 hours in the area known as Ojo de Apache, two kilometers
west of Calama. The witness Mrs. Maria Angelica was walking home on a road
with no lighting in the area when she saw the UFO. She lives in terror,
because every night she hears violent stomping on her rooftop that she
feels are related to the UFO. She claims, her animal-owning neighbors have
lost many animals to the intruders.

ASTROALERT: METEOR SHOWER TO WELCOME 2001

Periodically our earth travels through parts of the sky
that are more dangerous because of potential asteroids. As the Sun moves
through the galaxy it pulls the planets along with it. Once each year we
circle the sun, but we appear to be moving into an area where there is
more debris in space. Asteroids are relatively dense bodies that range
in size from 1 to 760 kilometers. An asteroid or even the smaller meteoroids
could cause severe damage to the Earth. It is fortunate that we now have
the ability for space travel and an increasing ability to spot danger in
our skies. Tim Edward's writes, " One of the strongest annual meteor
showers will peak over North America during the morning hours of Wednesday,
January 3, 2001." The Quadrantid meteor shower has the capability
to produce 100 meteors per hour at the time of maximum activity if viewed
from dark rural sites away from any sources of light pollution. Quadrantid
meteors should be seen in a remote region of the sky near the intersections
of Draco, Hercules, and Ursa Major. Gary Kronk has provided a finder chart
at: http://comets.amsmeteors.org/meteors/showers/quadrantids.html. Thanks
